“Judy was amazing with my fur baby Blanket, she communicated with me daily and sent pictures, she cared for him as if he was her own, I can see that he was happy and comfortable in her care, she spoiled him, I will definitely use her services again!! Thank you Judy!!!”
“Kevin did an amazing job watching my dog, Jamie, for the first time! He sent me daily photos of Jamie enjoying walks and relaxing in the sun on the balcony, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Jamie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I know he’s in great hands with Kevin, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have helped take care of relatives dogs over the years. I have a labradoodle of my own. And I’m looking forward to helping you care for your pet as well! My dog, Milo and I look forward to having another dog joining us for a day of play! We have a nice backyard for running! I have a fenced yard. I have one dog, Milo. He is a four year old labradoodle who loves to run, play and car rides.
“Best experience we have ever had! My dog was actually sad to leave Karine, and I felt bad taking him! I had updates and videos multiple times a day that melted my heart. He was SO loved and Karine made him feel right at home, if not even better! I couldn’t recommend more.”
“Radostina did a great job with our 5 year old and 5 month old pups. She has a fenced in yard and areas set up for playing and sleeping. She was so loving and sent lots of pictures. Through those pictures we could tell that our pups were loving their time with her and her family. Thank you Radostina!”
“Denise watched my dog Paddy for over a week while he was recovering from Lyme’s. She was very friendly, kind and assuring during this period. She also communicated with me daily and sent updates and pictures. I would highly recommend.”
About: Hi there, I’m an experienced dog owner and sitter with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for four legged friends of all sizes. I have a large fenced in backyard, and love to go for hikes and runs in the great outdoors. Or for a quiet walk in the neighborhood, if that’s what your dog prefers. Either way, I’ll make sure to keep your pup happy, safe and well cared for 😊 I’m available to board your dog Thursdays through Sundays. I work from home with a very flexible schedule and always go for at least one long (min 1 hr) walk and a couple of shorter ones on workday, plus plenty of time for play. My home office has a large and very comfy couch so that we all, dogs and office worker, can keep each other company. On weekends I tend to spend a lot of time outdoors, of course taking your dog’s needs into consideration. I have a large, dog friendly house and a wonderful fenced in backyard. My own dog, a very social and energetic Havanese, will happily share her couches and lead the way on walks and runs. No small kids in the house, I have three kids in their early 20s who come and go during weekends and school breaks. One of them is a vet technician, the other two just generally great with dogs.
“I am very happy with Atilio & Silvia's family and how they care for and about my dogs. They are careful with their feeding and prescriptions - and have fun with the dogs. I got pictures and feedback daily and my dogs always looks very relaxed. I will defininately use them whenever I travel, with confidence and pleasure! Many thanks for your open hearts and caring home!”
“I was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.”
“Consuelo and family take such great care - we booked for 3 different times in the week. and yes, our puppy keeps asking, "When are we going back?" Highly recommend!!!”
“Blanca is simply the best. She is the only dog sitter we trust with our slightly anxious dog, Chai. Chai LOVES Blanca which is a massive compliment because she is rarely happy with any dog sitting situation. Blanca genuinely loves and cares for all dogs like they are her own.”
“Jordyn and Jamie were awesome. They went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Nula, got a ton of exercise. They sent regular updates, were very responsive, and we definitely felt that Nula was in good hands while we were away. Their dog, Parker, was the perfect playmate and is wonderfully behaved. ”
“We're so glad that we found Tanya! Daisy had a wonderful time, and I had a rare opportunity to meet a friend for a nice evening in New York City! We will definitely be calling on Tanya again. Highly recommended!”
“Leo helped us last minute with our dog Ellie. He was extremely communicative and sent us several pictures daily. We would absolutely use Leo again in the future! Ellie came back very sleepy, so she was well exercised and taken care of : )”
“We are already looking forward to our next board with Ashley! She was so communicative, gracious and patient throughout the process and attentive and kind to the individual needs of our pup. He is pooped from his fur party and we are at peace knowing he was safe and positively engaged while we were away. Thank you Ashley, we will be back!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, looking after puppies, adults, and seniors. I understand their needs based on their energy, age, and personality, whether it’s a gentle walk for older dogs or a sprint with active pups. Friends and neighbors trust me to babysit their dogs while they work or travel, knowing I’ll keep them safe, happy, and loved. I love walking, practicing tricks with dogs in training, and spending quality time with furry friends. Your dog’s safety is my priority—I’m mindful of weather conditions, avoid risks, and always communicate about treats, routes, or special instructions. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a task; it’s truly a joy. I work from home two days a week and am usually home on weekends. My job is flexible, allowing me to take breaks during the day, which I love using for refreshing walks—especially with a dog by my side. I can also babysit dogs while working from home, as my apartment allows pets. I don’t have roommates, and my husband loves dogs just as much (if not more) than I do, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment. I currently don’t have dogs of my own, as my pups live with my mom, so I truly miss spending time with furry friends and would love to care for yours. In my apartment, your pet will have enough space to rest and play indoors. I live less than 400 feet from a dog park, and the neighborhood is perfect for dog walking, giving your pup the chance to explore and get fresh air. My husband also works from home, so together we’ll keep a close eye on your furry friend, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and loved. If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I’ll adapt to their routine and the space they’re familiar with. Depending on the length of the stay, I’ll make sure they’re walked, given attention, and engaged in light training or play. For longer periods, I’m happy to work remotely from your location to provide consistent companionship and care.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs—young, old, big, small, pullers, you name it. I will take care of your pets as I do my own. I work from home, so I’m available around the clock for taking care of your pets. I live in the Fairfield County area, so I’m available to help you out with your pets! I live in a house with roommates, but I have a floor to myself. I have a cat at home, so I can provide a feline companion during boardings.
“Robert was incredible with our French Bulldog, Lilly. This was our first time using Rover and we are extremely glad we did. Robert was extremely friendly and professional and our Frenchie trusted him immediately when we had our meet and greet. Robert sent us pictures daily of Lilly showing how much fun she was having. We’ll definitely be returning to Robert in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stamford
Barbara was great with our 2 year old staffy mix! We were worried because she is very scared around new people and we had a small issue the first night, but after a couple of days Presley was having a blast with Barbara's dog and the other dog she was watching! It was great that Barbara was willing to take on the challenge and be very patient with her. She also sent pictures and updates throughout her stay ☺️
I had a good experience with Alena and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their dog. She stayed in touch with me throughout Dewey’s stay and sent me photos and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable and confident leaving Dewey in her care and knowing he was being well looked after. I would be happy to have her take care of Dewey again in the future. Thank you, Alena! 🐾❤️
I was out of town for a weekend and needed someone for dog boarding, so of course I went to Wendy! She was great with my dog and followed the care instructions I gave her. She provided updates throughout the day, was flexible with drop off/pick up time, and made things easy for me by dropping off my dog at my home. Wendy is great!
Melissa and Christian were fantastic with our two girls. Each day we received clever updates on what they were up to, how they were doing and what they have done. They were taken on multiple walks each day and were very comfortable with them. Will definitely be booking again with them!
Steph did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She was very communicative and provided updates daily along with the cutest photos. She really cares about the dogs she takes care of. Definitely one of the top sitters we’ve found on Rover! We would happily book again and highly recommend her! I can tell our pup was in great hands.
Emma took amazing care of our 2.5 year old lab for one week while we went away on vacation. She took great care of our dog giving her plenty of exercise and care. She shared videos and photos on a regular basis which we were grateful for. Our dog came home safe and sound. We would definitely ask Emma to take care of our dog again!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Stamford home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Stamford.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
